Caramba's Revenge at The Venture Theatre
Ashby Dramatic Society presents Caramba's Revenge by William Norfolk, a darkly funny "murderous comedy" where a group of seemingly harmless pensioners prove to be far sharper – and naughtier – than they look.
Expect plots, secrets and plenty of laughs as a missing grandmother, a curious inspector and some very resourceful "old dears" collide in one terraced living room.
Caramba's Revenge will be at The Venture Theatre until Saturday 7 March
Funhouse Comedy and Curry Night at The Lyric Rooms
The Lyric Rooms are hosting another of their popular Comedy and Curry Nights this Thursday 5 March.
Compared by Spiky Mike, enjoy a great curry and hilarious comedy night featuring:
- Lloyd Griffith - Multi-talented entertainer and ex-choir boy with numerous TV appearances, including 8 Out of 10 Cats, Ted Lasso and previous co-host of Soccer AM on Sky Sports
- Rod Woodward - An award-winning Welsh comedian known for his polished stand-up, sharp observations and TV appearances on shows including Live at the Apollo. A favourite at corporate events and festivals, he blends clean humour, quick wit and charismatic storytelling
- Natalie Dunkin
- Radu Isac
This event usually sells out so be sure to grab your tickets ready for a brilliant night of fantastic comedy and great food!
